Audience and Visitor Security
Public Open Days

Events such as London Open House and its heritage open day equivalent in the Nations & Regions require an individual security risk assessment and planning so as not to compromise the security of our people and premises.

 

The precautions must be carried out in a way that will not adversely affect the welcome the BBC wishes to offer members of the public.

 

Depending on the BBC Security Response Level  in place at the time, visitors to these events must undergo security searches and bag checks by trained staff.  If the venue does not have metal arch detectors and x-ray baggage scanners installed, the screening must be carried out with the use of handheld metal detectors and visual bag checks at side tables.
